Pittsburgh at Carolina (9-21-14)

Carolina is kind of overrated in my opinion and Pittsburgh just came off two consecutive division games that are always tough in the AFC North. I don't think Pittsburgh is THAT good but they are certainly not a bad team IMO.

 

Plus they have Legarrate "Smokey" Blount who just pounded in another score.

Well there you have it.

 

Told you fellas all summer that the Panthers are not that good.

 

They look good against cupcake teams but give them someone that can keep a drive going and that defense looks awful.

 

No way they are lucking into winning 12 games this year.

 

Oh and ROMAN HARPER is on the team, now Panthers fans will know how I have felt the past 6 years watching him miss a tackle, blow coverage, and then chase down the running back after a 20 yard gain.

Pittsburgh has one scary offense (when they are clicking). The weakness to that offense is the lack receiving threats other than AB. The defense on the other hand looks to be a mediocre D. The D-line has lots of talent but the pass rushers just aren't consistent. The secondary isn't the greatest either. They do have a potential top 5 inside duo with Shazier and Timmons. Those guys will be amazing for years to come.

You say every team is overrated.

    • How the heck did I miss that?! Wow
    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works. 
    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.     
    • I’d like Crossby!   I really like Mitchell, but I just don’t see more youth being a good thing for our CB room. Even if the Sneed thing is made up I still think we should go for a vet.    I hope we can get Cooper in the 2nd. I’d prefer a WR (or Bowers) at 15, but right now I think we’re looking at DE.    Powers-Johnson looks greats, but of all the things we could do I think OL is probably the least likely at 15.    Lots of needs. Safety is probably the biggest, but I don’t think any of them are worth the 15th overall.
